Welcome to 2010!

Welp, it's that time of year. Time to return to hiking/fishing once more! Winter in Virginia has proven to be very interesting, as I'm seeing a lot of birds I'm not used to seeing, being from the Midwest. Most of the colorful songbirds have been gone for several months, but, the shorebirds are here in vast numbers. So far in 2010, I've only gotten out a couple of times, but...here's what I've seen thus far:
